Environmental Intelligence: NOAA Products and Services Support To the
Public’s Decision-making
Environmental decisions can impact lives, property and segments of the economy for years.
Environmental intelligence includes weather warnings or forecasts, tsunami and flood alerts, space weather, fire and drought reports and predictions, ice monitoring or harmful algal bloom assessments.
Critical information is tied to observations, modeling and computer resources.
Decision support tools are essential to effectively convey information.

Data Centers & Information Services:
Archive, Access and Assessment
NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS)
NOAA’s National Environmental Information Office provide long-term preservation, management, data
stewardship and ready accessibility to the world’s largest source of oceanographic, geophysical, solar-terrestrial
and climatic data
NESDIS operates NOAA’s Central and Regional library system to support NOAA’s scientific/technical personnel.
More than weather, NESDIS is the loci for integration of data from various sources to address complex
environmental challenges, e.g., Gulf of Mexico “dead zone,” long-term polar ice trends, drought monitoring.
Over 10 Petabytes of
data in NOAA’s
National Data Centers
Over 4.1 PBs of data
served in FY 2012,
over 50 % annual
growth rate

Current Challenges
NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) 20
Continuity of critical observations for current weather forecasting
needs until future systems come on-line
Maintaining brisk pace as we develop the next generation systems
Being responsive to stakeholder pressure to make our systems and
processes more cost-effective
Maintaining an adequate cybersecurity posture without impeding full
and open access our data and information services.
NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) 21
Summary
NESDIS’ mission is to deliver accurate, timely, and reliable satellite
observations and integrated products and to provide long-term stewardship for
global environmental data in support of the NOAA mission
Next generation systems offer significant advantages over the legacy on-orbit
systems, and they remain on schedule and within budget as they progress
towards launch
The NESDIS satellite enterprise benefits from strong partnerships, both
domestically and internationally
The President’s FY 2015 Budget request preserves NESDIS’ core functions,
focuses on key mission areas, and provides strategic investments for new
activities
